Also scheduled for July 31. Nervous but looking forward to the big change coming.

Today is the first time that I became aware of a pre-op diet. My surgery is july 29. I see the nutritionist tomorrow. Is she the one to tell me?

EGD exam today. Not bad until the sore throat set in. Blah

I had my EGD today too. No sore throat yet. Finger crossed it stays away over night. EGD was not bad at all. Surgery the 24th. So excited, yet very nervous!

After surgery u will have the same sore throat as they place a tube for breathing. That pain is the least of ur worries :)

You wonderful ladies will do great!....just know that the pounds didn't come over night and they will not fall off over night. Be encouraged and know that this is a New Life Journey...not a diet. Good luck and much success to you all.

So nerves had my administration test done today ekg and all I'm just nerves about being put to sleep...

I've never had a fear of being put to sleep. I think I'm more nervous for the band amd the lifestyle changes. I'm so ready yet nervous about the unknown. Everyone has such different recoveries, some have band complications and others do awesome. So much unknown stuff out there. Excited yet apprehensive.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
